This is a Sources Sought/Request for Information only.  This is not a Solicitation Announcement, nor is it a Request for Proposal.  This request does not obligate the Government in any contract award.  The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District is issuing the sources sought synopsis as a means of conducting market research to identify parties having an interest in and the resources to support the requirement for civil works construction.  The result of this market research will contribute to determining the method of procurement.  The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this procurement is 237990. The magnitude of construction is $1M to $5M.

Savannah Harbor DMCA 1N is approaching maximum capacity and will soon be unable to be used for dredge material containment.  The proposed project includes clearing, grubbing and raising the perimeter dike around the 130-acre dredged material containment area (DMCA) along with the entrance ramp and the two southernmost pipe ramps, raising the existing cross-dike along with its existing double-barrel weir/water control structures, and raising both existing weir/water control structures in the southeast corner of the DMCA.  The existing perimeter dike currently has a crest elevation of approximately 26 feet MLLW.  After clearing and grubbing, the dike will be raised to a uniform elevation of 33 feet MLLW to gain additional capacity for containment of Savannah Harbor dredged material.  An extension of the weir-riser will be added to the existing weir structures.  The cross dike extending north/south will be raised to a crest elevation of 31 feet MLLW.   

Construction activities within the water will take place utilizing barges, activities that are on land will require the use of heavy civil construction equipment to include cranes, excavators, dump trucks, rollers, etc. Several rock quarries have been identified within a 20 mile radius of the project area. Weir stones will be sourced from local rock quarries.  The river is prone to varying water levels due to rainfall and regulated releases from J. Strom Thurmond Dam.  The contractor should consult the webpage http://water.sas.usace.army.mil/gmap/ and consider plans for removing equipment in high flow conditions.
